These terrorists are responsible for the death of children in Gaza”.Muslim IDF soldier on claims about the IDF: ”Accusations against IDF are outrageous.

A big thank you to the incredible and beautiful people I interviewed: Ben-Dror Yemini, Etaf Shtewe, and Tom Hareb. I’ve had the most incredible and enlightening conversations with you all. Your courage, strength, and beauty are heartwarming and I wish the whole Arab and Muslim world could hear you. A huge thank you also goes to

an illuminating organization that is bringing communities together and fighting for peace in the Middle East. An amazing organization that is doing God's work: follow them. And last but not least: a big thank you to all the Israelis who won’t stop inviting me to lunch and dinner! Such incredible hospitality. You make me feel at home. I wish I could invite you all over for kosher Swedish meatballs with a Yemeni twist. L'chaim!
